Some good ones. :-D The ad placement is the big problem I have with inserting ads with news stories. If they must pollute their site with such things at least make it a seperate stage before viewing the article and not risk things like that. How does GMail deal with placing ads in, say, e-mails notifying you about a realtive's death? Would it contain links to Funeral Homes and stories about the latest genocide in Africa?

I don't know. Why don't you send me an email pretending to tell me about a relative's death? When I get it I'll let you know the results.

If your heart fails, getting an erection is probably the least of your worries...

You are not going to believe this, but no adverts at all! Other emails had adverts but you seem to be black listed now - I looked at other mails that you responsed to and nada there either. A few other emails seem to have had the adverts removed also - and I would swear they were there earlier - maybe they were people in the same thread of conversation a while back that it has linked together or something. Weird.

I've mentioned this before, but in case you never read the post, or are curious. On September 2, 1974 I suffered (I use the term loosely, because I don't know - I don't ever remember) heart failure due to a condition known as Transposition of the Great Vessles. It is quite rare, and I have to explain it to just about any doctor that does not specialise in cardiology. I even had a doctor in Spain ask if I'd move there so he could be my GP. When I was at university one of my friends shared a flat with a couple of medical students. One of them showed me the text book on the subject, and just to underline the seriousness the first words were, in bold text, "This condition is incompatible with life". I digress. An emergency corrective surgery was performed and 6 months later a more permanent correction was made. Since then I have on various occasions had other minor corrections. Most recently I had angioplasty (where they stick a catheter into the vessles with a balloon on the end which is used to expand the arteries.)

I understand. Didn't mean to sound flippant, was unaware of the details of such a condition.

I am going to speculate, because god gave me a brain and a mouth and amazingly let me use them both at the same time, and say that Google has already been in trouble for innapropriate ads on news articles. They have probably tied up their code for GMail, where they can control display, so that dangerous topics don't get advertised. regards, Paul Watson South Africa Michael Dunn wrote: "except the sod who voted this a 1, NO SOUP FOR YOU" Crikey! ain't life grand?

That's okay. I think that most people don't realise that "Heart Failure" doesn't mean death - it just means that the heart fails to function properly.

Wasn't Viagra originally developed to help people with certain heart problems (can't be more specific than that...), but when it was on clinical trials it was found that one of the side effects was that it...hmmm... 'solved some erectile disfunction problems'? There was another drug that was developed for Narcolepsy, that studying students and party animals have turned into a designer drug, by getting it (possibly OTC or DTC - not sure) and taking it to help them go all night. And so we come back round to Viagra... I may be way off track...who knows!
